Too .Much Difference
According to statistics published in

has exactly the same area and a larger
population, the cost was $1,525, or less
than hnlf tho cost In this county. If
these figures are correct, the differ
ence In cost Is too great either Cus
ter county nssessors work fast, or else
tho Lincoln county asessors are
very slow In the work.
